Sons of Anarchy: Salvage (06 x 06)

If the road wasn’t bumpy enough for our boys in SAMCRO, it just got worse. With the club burnt down, change is inevitable. It was pretty emotional seeing the damage as Chibs dug out the gavel and handed it to Jax. Does this mean war against the Irish? Will SAMCRO be able to survive?

Victim should be Gemma’s middle name because that is all she plays. Using Nero’s sympathy to her advantage, she crushes his heart and says she needs to be with her family. Perfect line for a man that has been set up for murder. Little does he know, she’s on his side with Eli and potentially the DA.

Jax tries to put the new sheriff under his thumb, but we’ve known ever since the new sheriff came into town that he cannot be controlled. He suspects what’s going on, but knows better than to snoop especially when it comes to the IRA. With this murder case on his hands, Eli brings Gemma into his office and she spills all the details she may know. Who knew Gemma would turn into a rat? She tells the DA that Nero was set up by Torric, who Otto killed in prison. Her alibi could be considered lethal if Clay finds out, but she admits that Nero was with her all night. Eli goes to check out Torric’s motel room and sure enough he finds bullet holes underneath a rug and a shit ton of guns. He believes that Nero is innocent, but it’s going to take a whole lot more to convince the DA, who wants solid evidence from the DNA found at the scene.

Tara and Jax are still on rocky ground, and the lack of sleep isn’t helping anything. We see a Jax who no longer gives his wife his full attention. As Tara is stressing about her ultrasound, Jax walks out to take a call. You can’t blame her for wanted a divorce, their marriage has fallen to shambles, but little does she know he’s trying to protect her and their boy.

The phone call was the Irish. They threaten that if a deal isn’t made, there will be another bombing and this time it won’t be just a scare. Trying to avoid war, Jax gives in. We haven’t seen SAMCRO give in since their acceptance of short jail time in Season 4. But Jax has a plan, he wants Gemma to tell Clay to accept the deal the Irish made with him last week. This would mean Clay would be out of jail and in Belfast.

As the boys are passing through Eden to get to a charter meeting, they’re pulled over by somer dirty cops wanting to cause some trouble. After a fist fight and stealing their guns, Juice completely wrecks their police van by letting his bike slide right under it. So long cops!

When Gemma gets to the prison, she tells Clay to move forward with the IRA’s offer. Having Clay out and about in Belfast, seems like a disaster ready to happen, but Jax seems confident about it.

The Sons are at a crossroads with the club being destroyed, but everything that has happened cannot be blamed on Clay, although he is the one that got SAMCRO into guns. Jax wants to follow in his birth father’s footsteps and get the club out of guns. They don’t even earn much, but they lose so many lives. Jax insists that if the guns don’t go, the club will. He seems set on the porn industry, which makes me hope that this isn’t the breaking point for Jax and Tara.

We finish by seeing the DA in a whole new light, she reveals herself to Tara when she takes off her wig and tells her that she will be prosecuting in three weeks. Is this woman one of Nero’s transvestites that has been seeking revenge? Did Nero even have a chance?

Unraveling Begins

All the lies in SAMCRO are finally coming undone, but who will be the first to be found out? Gemma? Wendy? Juice? Unser? Well at the beginning of the episode, we watched Gemma sit at her dinner table and talk to an empty chair, so I think it’s safe to say she’s falling apart first. After Abel dropped the bomb about Gemma murdering Tara, he initiated an investigation on Jax’s end. Is his son delusional or is he telling the truth?

The Search Begins

When Jax starts asking questions he goes to Wendy first, but quickly realizes this runs deeper than just Wendy. Both Wayne and Juice were also involved. Jax starts putting together all of the pieces and heads to the prison to visit Juice. Finally the two brothers can come clean with each other, but it didn’t go quite as we thought. Juice gave Jax a fully detailed account of Tara’s murder by Gemma and how she covered it up. The truth is finally out in the open, but who will suffer for it?

Precious Moments

After Juice tells Jax everything, Jax promises him that his death will be quick and as painless as possible. WHAT?! Poor Juicey! He’s been in jail for the Club, raped by a white supremacist regularly, and finally carried out the club’s wishes of killing Lin. Now there’s no reason for them to keep him alive.

The End is Near

Jax, completely torn up about this new truth, goes to Nero and confession his mother’s actions. The only problem, Jax still loves her, he can’t help it. With some pushing by Nero, Jax tells the club about Gemma’s lie and how he wants to right all the wrongs that were caused by it. How will this affect the club? With only a few lies to unravel, SOA is almost at its end. Who is going to die and who will walk away free? Don’t forget to watch next week at 9/10C on FX!

Secret’s Out!

It’s about time! Ten episodes in and finally Abel spilled the beans. Let’s set this up for you, Jax sits Abel down to tell him that Wendy was his first mom and that he came out of her tummy. This is where Abel replies and asks if that’s what Grandma killed his other mommy, so he could be with his first mommy. WHAT! The mind blown look on Jax’s face was indescribable. Will Jax believe his son? He knows that his son is just like him in the truth aspect of his life, especially after he stabbed himself with a fork to get Gemma in trouble and lied about it with a smile. Gosh Abel, why couldn’t you just be trustworthy?!

Romeo and Julio

I know, the header cracks me up too! Venus and Tig, where do we even begin. We all knew there was something going on between them, but I don’t think we knew how deep it ran until this past week. Venus is head over heels in love with Tig, but is it reciprocated or is this just him proving that he can dare to be different?

Old Man Moves

Unser may be old, but he’s still got it! When Leland heads to the hospital to kill Officer Eglee, Unser gets to him first. Silencing an innocent woman so she won’t testify against the Aryan Brotherhood was unacceptable in Unser’s mind. It was nice to see someone who deserved to die visit the Reaper, and not some innocently stuck in Jax’s revenge plot.

Buh-bye Moses

As unbelievable and unrealistic as it may have looked, Jax and his boys took down Moses. After amusing him and his special ops men from behind a trailer, Jax tortured Moses with the same treatment given to Bobby. We could have done without seeing his eye being cut out, or his fingers being cut off. Shooting him in the head would have been enough, but it wouldn’t be SAMCRO without the blood and gore.

What will Jax do with the new information? Will Unser be officially back in business? And what the heck is Juice doing?! Don’t forget to watch next week at 9/10C on FX! Share your thoughts with us on twitter at @craveyoutv!

Goodbye Bobby

SPOILER ALERT: BOBBY IS DEAD! I repeat, Bobby is dead! We knew his days were numbered after Marks grabbed him, but what a total tease pretending to let him go and then shooting him down. Jax’s hate for Marks is at an all time high, but is setting up his arrest enough for Bobby’s life?

Not Matching Up

It’s obvious that the show is going to continue to keep the “Gemma killed Tara” secret until the end, but it was nice to see the Sheriff start to put things together. The fact that Jarry knows that the man that Gemma and Juice blamed for killing Tara has an alibi, is refreshing. It’s about time that Jarry does something other than Chibs.

Tainted Love

Speaking of Chibs, we’re thankful that he found a new love. But we were not thankful for the sex scene in the parking lot in front of Quinn. We get it Jarry, you wanted to know his feelings toward you, but don’t you have any morals? What we want to know is if Chibs really does have feelings for her, or is he just stringing her along for the club’s agenda?

Loose Ends

Juice is in solitary. Which means, that there is no possible way he can kill Lin at the moment. Did Jax send the wrong get in there? Juice is willing to do anything for the club, even sacrifice his own life. Sheriff Jarry finally grew a brain and is no longer going along with Juice’s plan to kill Lin in prison, which means it’s going to be even harder for Juice to get his task done.

Altogether, this episode was pretty empty. Yes, Bobby lost his life, but besides that it was a lot of pieces that still haven’t found themselves into the bigger puzzle. Bobby was gone the moment that Marks and Moses got ahold of him, but did SAMCRO really think an arrest would take him down? We just hope this next couple of episodes give us more meat to go off of, like a Gemma death. That right there would be something worth celebrating. Don’t forget to watch next week at 9/10C on FX!
